Thanks also for introducing the relationship aspect between teacher and student. Now, when you are with a student and the student is reading aloud, you are doing mental gymnastics (based on a lot of experience) in analysing what skills your student has mastered, and what skills she needs help with. Could you describe for me please what you go through in decoding and comprehension? Do you have a hierarchy of mastery in your mind? Do you note certain types of skills, errors, repetitions, and so on? What is your mental sorting process? I realize this is awfully detailed, but I hsve a feeling skilled teachers have worked out methods of grouping, analysing, classifying, that lead to more effective teaching and learning over time. Thanks for your help, thanks for taking the time. Andrea
